Terror debate

The media and other candidates are sure to use this weekend's arrests as a pretext to attack Dr. Paul as "soft" or possibly "anti-American" in Tuesday's Presidential debate.

Dr. Paul should note that it is too early for anyone other than a demagogue to comment on the case, as enough is not yet known. In noting such, he could cite the example of the so-called "Miami terror plot."

Recall the great fanfare which accompanied the arrest of the "Miami 7" last year. After court documents eventually came to light even such an establishment organ as the Washington Post had to report on the incompetence of the "plotters" and the heavy smell of entrapment about the whole affair. Short version: an FBI informant found a group of totally incompetent inner-city Jesus-freak potheads and only after he and another FBI informant spent months giving them tens of thousands of dollars, were they able to convince the accused to recite a kind of "disloyalty oath" against the U.S.

Don't be surprised to find out a couple of weeks from now that the FBI informant was the brains of the JFK operation as well. One of the recordings released to CNN this weekend featured one of the non-FBI "plotters" making the genius observation that bombing a pipeline connected to JFK airport would be as traumatic to the American people as executing the now-beloved Jack Kennedy, the man, all over again.

Free-for-all (frfr-ôl) -- n. A disorderly fight, argument, or competition in which everyone present participates.
